How to generate structures?

How do I generate structures like maybe forming a cube?

 

Geekhellmc
Use a loop to create a cube, then use World#getBlockAt(), then set its type to some Material.

 

Try making the code, and if you can't figure it out I will help you.

 

Ok I will try

Something like:

Code:

 public String layers(int y, int layloc){
String[] layer1 = {
"STONE", "AIR", "STONE",
"AIR", "STONE", "AIR",
"STONE", "AIR", "STONE"
};
 
String[] layer2 = {
"AIR", "AIR", "AIR",
"AIR", "STONE", "AIR",
"AIR", "AIR", "AIR"
};
 
String[] layer3 = {
"STONE", "STONE", "STONE",
"STONE", "AIR", "STONE",
"STONE", "SYONE", "STONE"
};
if (y == 0){return layer1[layloc];}
if (y == 1){return layer2[layloc];}
if (y == 2){return layer3[layloc];}
return null;
}

Is it possible to use particles and not blocks?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

It won't be laggy?

 

just like 1 particle per block, no beggy

 

Geekhellmc of course

 

Generate structures out of particles?
